| Calling Dave Berning ZH-270 owners Agree w/comments that preamp adds weight, fullness to the sound, and improves dynamics. I used a Joule Electra LA150, LA100mkIII, CAT SL1mk3, and tried a friends' Supratek Chenin. They all sounded far better than the Berning alone. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Shelby Lynne Yes, Gary & Mark's tour a couple of years ago was one of the best shows I can remember. Saw them after a snowstorm at World Cafe Live in Philly. They were most appreciative of fans' efforts to get to the show and rewarded us with great enthusi... | |
| Shelby Lynne Raks, I have Rainy Day Music on vinyl. It's good, but not even close to Hollywood Town Hall or Tomorrow The Green Grass. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Brand new vinyl - skips? Call VPI & ask for Mike. He'll talk you through proper setup. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Shelby Lynne The Jayhawks are IMHO the most under-appreciated band around. They've created a true evolving body of work with many great albums over a long period of time. Check out Hollywood Town Hall as a start. And yes, Lost Highway has plenty of great bands... | |
| Walker or VPI motor controller with scoutmaster? I use the Walker on my TNT6-HR and can't imagine having this table without it. Take Elinor up on his offer. If that's out of your price range, get the SDS. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Longtime lurker First time Poster Great advice from Rushton.The other big thing that is cheap, is to make sure you play clean records. Wet cleaning is a must, with good brushes such as Disc Doctor, and fluids from Walker or Audio Intelligent. Cheers,Spencer | |
| The VPI Rim Drive Anybody listen to this yet? Please share your reaction. | |
| Good tube integrated for Merlin speakers? The Berning ZH270 is a winner w/Merlins. It sounds even better with a preamp, but accepts 2 sources and has a volume control. Lead time/used availability is an issue. Manley Stingray is a good choice, too. Search the archives, this has been asked ... | |
| Tube preamp suggestions. I've owned both the Atma-Sphere and the Joule 150(as well as the Joule 100 mk3). They are both fine but different. IN MY SYSTEM, the Atma-Sphere's strengths were its ability to drive long cable runs thru its balanced outputs, clear articulation o... | |
| What exactly causes clicks and pops on vinyl? Agree w/most of the above. So with your budget, here's what you do"Buy good liquid cleaning system from either Walkeraudio or Audio Intelligent. Get good velvety-surfaced cleaning brushes(Disc Doctor or Mobile Fidelity).Buy a couple of large white... | |
| power cords for Atma-sphere amplifiers? Silent Source high current version is a pretty good match, at least in my system. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Miles Davis "Sketches Of Spain" Hi,Please add me, too. I am fortunate to have found a 1a/1b pressing of this wonderful album. It's really something. Cheers,Spencer | |
| a tube amplifier repair technician Bob Backert is awesome. Cheers,Spencer |
